Thanks roadrunner,
I alredy tried EVAL(diff(fx,X))
The problem is if fx has funtion like 'SEC(X)+X^2'
diff returns diff(SEC(X),X)+2*X and EVAL will solve the diff issue but also will replace the X with its value.

I appreciate this and future suggestions.
Best regards!!

I get the correct answer with eval and X keeps its old value. I set X:=2 then did EVAL(diff(fx,X)). That worked then when I typed in X and Enter
I got 2 back.
